Before bringing my cat to All Cat Clinic, she had been going to another vet where they had no idea what was wrong with her. They treated her with steroids shots for two years with no success. We were at wits end. She could barely walk and almost bald. We checked the internet and found All Cats Clinic. Our first visit was about 6 or 7 months ago. Furbul was almost bald, scabbed all over and was scratching until she started bleeding. I had to carry her around like an infant. Dr. Nelson and her staff were great. They ran various tests on her and we were extremely nervous. They started her on some medication. It was a long fight but we started seeing Furbul's hair grow back, scabs going away. Today Furbul is the long hair cat I originally had. I greatly appreciate Dr. Nelson and her staff for all they did for my cat.
I've owned cats my entire life and I've never found a clinic so professional and compassionate as Dr. Nelson and her staff. It took me years to find her and I will be going to her for years to come! I HIGHLY recommend her to ANYONE with a cat. Their cat-specific care also helps them root out rare illnesses and problems that a mixed animal hospital may not be able to hone in on in time to save your pet, and to save you tons of money by preventing you from having to go to back over and over to have tests run to understand a problem.
If you consider your cats family as I do, there is no question that they should receive the very best vet care which is what you will find here. Although the cost at the All Cat Clinic is a little higher than at most other vets, the cost is justified and well worth it. The quality of care provided is well above that of any other vet I have ever been to. Dr. Nelson knows cats better than any other animal doctor I have encountered. When Dr. Nelson discovered a heart problem with one of my cats Dr. Nelson did not "sugar coat" anything in regards to the possibilities of what could happen with my cat, but at the same time was very supportive. She gave her suggestions and advice, but did not try to push me to make any decisions. I made the decision to have the cat euthanized and the staff was extremely compassionate. I have also had a cat who I took to the emergency vet over the weekend and this cat was a mess from a urinary tract blockage. Dr. Nelson made a few changes to the plan given to me at the emergency vet and we had him feeling much better in a very short time! They are also amazing with cats that have extra bad attitudes. I have one cat who has actually been banned from one vet and another vet would not treat her without sedation. She has had many visits to the cat clinic and although she is still a huge pain, she is not nearly as afraid and anxious as she was at other vets. It is very obvious that Dr. Nelson and her staff know how to correctly handle the cats with nasty attitudes. If you have cats this is the place to go...especially if they are a kitty with an extra nasty attitude. I would never take my cats anywhere else... -Christina 5/17/12
I have lived with cats all of my 63 years and know just how difficult it can be to find a vet who understands cats. Well, it just doesn't get any better than the care provided by Dr. Dena Nelson and her staff at the All Cat Clinic. We discovered Dr. Nelson's clinic shortly after she opened it. Our Siamese was extremely ill and nothing the previous vet did helped. Dr. Nelson quickly diagnosed his problems and began treatment. After two days at her clinic, we had a "new" cat. Thanks to Dr. Nelson, our faithful friend lived several more years. Today, Dr. Nelson and her staff are our partners in keeping our four cats happy and healthy. My wife and I recommend All Cat Clinic to everyone who loves cats. Leigh - Sept. 2, 2010
Dr. Dena Nelson is amazing with cats. With her skills come a high price tag. If money is not an issue, definitely take your cats here all the time. If money is an issue, take your cat to a cheaper vet for shots and minor problems, and if it's anything serious take your cat to All Cat Clinic. Dr. Nelson has never failed to figure out what was wrong with my furry friends(:
